ENS Endowment
- The Endowmen is expected to be sent to a DAO vote to this week. It is available to discuss on the forum.
- The DAO vote will be a request for approval of the meta-gov working group to oversee the selection and management of the fund manager as outlined in the RFP specification.
- Questions were fielded from potential applicants and community members on the call.
- Q: Would the fund manager directly be allocating and have custody of the funds?
- A: Fund management will occur via on-chain governance without custody by the fund manager. The fund manager will not be able to withdraw funds themselves. The RFP prioritizes proposals that “minimise custodial risk by using on-chain mechanisms that allow administration of the funds without the fund administrator having custody of the funds.”
- Q: Will every operation require approval by the DAO?
- A: Fund manager will have pre-defined allowable operations that can occur without approval. This achieves lightweight fund management while still using on-chain governance where appropriate.
- Other discussion points
- This fund management will not include the ENS governance tokens.
- The ideal structure will separate the asset management from the operational component of the DAO.
- The initial size of the fund will account for operational funding needs. It is understood that the timeline for the endowment to sustain core operations may be longer-term.
